I haven't written a blog in months. I have found myself either not having time to sit and write about the important things going on in my life, not feeling like what I have to say is "blog worthy" enough when I do have time, or how it usually works, I just don't feel like writing things out for everyone to read. But today, I feel like I should share.
So here's the run down of my life:
-I'm getting married to the most incredible man I could ever imagine marrying. That sounds so cheesy, I know, but it's true. Mason propsed to me on September 25, 2010. We got dressed up. My parents too pictures (lots of them, I was getting kind of suspicious after my dad was taking pictures out the window when we were driving away). He took me to The Reata in downtown Fort Worth (great food, beautiful atmosphere-we ate on the rooftop, and we both absolutely love being downtown). The whole dinner was perfect. I didn't really assume he was going to propose or anything, he was so calm and we just had fun. Then we walked around, went to Barnes and Nobel for a bit, then left downtown. We started heading in the direction of the Museum District and ended up outside of the Kimble Art Museum. The Kimble is a special place to us. In highschool and early college before we dated, we hung outside of it at night there alot with a group of great friends. There is a really cool fountain that we would put our feet in and just sit and talk. When we started dating, we'd go and sit out there and talk for hours. So, anyways, we ended up at the Kimble where after sitting on a bench talking about random things, he pulled me up, got down on one knee and asked if I would marry him. My answer did not come right away, not because I was unsure, but because I was hyperventillating and crying because I was so overwhelmed with emotion. I of course said yes when I could breath again! It really was special. We headed to my parent's house afterwards where we were greated with joyous tears, love, and support. The fact that I get to marry Mason is so exciting, but also a beautiful picture of God's grace. I am constantly seeing the picture of Christ's death and Resurection on my life through this engagement. I am so amazed that the Lord has let me marry a man with such passion to know Christ after all of my past sin and mistakes in the past. And am so blessed to be marrying a guy with a graceful heart for me.
-I graduate in May 2011. 4 short years at Texas A&M University. I will miss it, a lot. The culture is all "Aggie". It's something that is so different than anywhere else. I've been in Fort Worth for Christmas break, but last night there was Midnight Yell in the Stockyards of Fort Worth because the Cotton Bowl is today. I was soaking it all in-Aggieland coming to Fort Worth! Ah, my two worlds coliding, ha! I have made some incredible friends that I will miss, but I am am so excited for what is to come. I have an internship in the spring, so I'm not actually taking classes this semester. It should be great!
Those are the two most significant events in my life right now. I'll keep you posted.
